AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The multi-modal HCI system increases accuracy and speed in determining user intent, reduces the effort required for input, and provides feedback to improve interaction efficiency and accuracy, overcoming limitations of single or dual input modalities.

Problems solved by technology

For example, if environmental conditions result in excessive noise making speech recognition difficult, feedback can prompt the user to employ another modality (e.g., text or pen) as a primary form of information input.

Abstract

A multi-modal human computer interface (HCI) receives a plurality of available information inputs concurrently, or serially, and employs a subset of the inputs to determine or infer user intent with respect to a communication or information goal. Received inputs are respectively parsed, and the parsed inputs are analyzed and optionally synthesized with respect to one or more of each other. In the event sufficient information is not available to determine user intent or goal, feedback can be provided to the user in order to facilitate clarifying, confirming, or augmenting the information inputs.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Graphical user interfaces (GUI) have significantly improved computer human interface by employing intuitive real-world metaphors. However, GUIs are still far from achieving a goal of allowing users to interact with computers without significant training. In addition, GUIs often rely heavily on a graphical display, keyboard and pointing devices that are not always available. Mobile computers have constraints on physical size and battery power, or present limitations due to hands-busy eyes-busy scenarios which make employment of traditional GUIs a challenge. In addition, with more and more computers designed for mobile usages and hence subject to physical size and hands-busy or eyes-busy constraints, traditional GUI faces an even greater challenge with respect to interaction therewith.[0002]Speech recognition technology enables a computer to automatically convert an acoustic signal uttered by users into textual words, freeing them from constraints of t...
